Japanese Site name and description doesn't display correctly on MS IE or Mac Safari

[ricerco]

Setting a plone site with MS IE 6/7 or Safari 3, Japanese site name and description doesn't display correctly, turn into garbage characters as screen image as following link. I guess this problem depend on formlib.

Let me submit an analysis, reported from a community guy, Terada.

The Plone 3.1.1 seems to add "enctype" atrribute all the time as shown below. So, encrypt="multipart/form-data" comes from zope.formlib without any condition. This is doubtful, because we believe multipart/form-data should be applied only for file(binary stuff). I hope this info could be helpful to solve this problem. retsu

+++Plone3.1.1+++ <p>サイト全体に関する設定</p> <= Site Setting <form action=" http://localhost:8080/Plone/@@site-controlpanel"

method="post" class="edit-form enableUnloadProtection" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="zc.page.browser_form">

Maybe this is Products.Five's problem.

zope.formlib needs unicode decoded field object, and Products.Five.browser.decode.processInputs provides unicode converted request.form. Charset provided by IUserPreferredCharsets.getPreferredCharsets(), and getPreferredCharsets() decide charset by HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET. If HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET was not sent from client browser (IE6,7, Safari), getPreferredCharsets() return iso-8859-1?.

I think use default-zpublisher-encoding value if HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET was not provided.

Use default-zpublisher-encoding if HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET was not provided.
